Siddha Ganju

Currently, I am an Architect at Nvidia focusing on the Self-Driving initiative. I work towards stable and scalable training of neural networks on very large data centers, and utilize simulation to validate the neural networks.

In 2017 I led NASA's Long-Period Comets team within their AI accelerator, called Frontier Development Lab, where we use machine learning to develop meteor detectors. Recently this project was able to provide the first-ever instrumental evidence of an outburst of 5 meteors coming from a previously known comet, called C/1907 G1 (Grigg-Mellish). As a member of the NASA FDL AI Technical Committee, I'm working towards incorporating AI in many space science projects!

I have also authored a book on Practical Deep Learning for Cloud, Mobile & Edge - O'Reilly Publishers

nasaweb's Issues

Constellation lines not being recognised

From looking at the constellation figures plotted on the website, the issue might be related to the plotting code not recognising a line break. While any pair of coordinates are separated from the others using " [ " and " ] ", each line starts with " [ [ " and ends with " ] ] ". Once a line has ended, the program should move to the next line, which doesn't seem to be happening. Rather, the program might be interpreting " ] ] " as the end of a constellation.

I checked the constellation JSON files. All the lines are correct and accounted for in that file. My own plot of these lines is coming out fine, with the more complex figures like Pegasus and Hercules all checking out.
